Seahawks Win in Spurts
UPI


The Seattle Seahawks scored touchdowns 18 seconds apart in the second quarter and used pass interceptions to set up two more quick scores in the third quarter to bury Atlanta 30-13 today and post their first victory oven an established NFL team.

Seahawk quarterback Jim Zorn threw for the first two touchdowns, hitting running back Sherman Smith on a 21-yarder and then connecting for 31 yards to tight end John McMakin 18 seconds later after Seattle recovered a Falcon fumble on the kickoff.

Seahawk safety Al Matthews intercepted a Scott Hunter pass and carried it 41 yards for a TD in the third period. His fellow safety, Dave Brown, intercepted another Hunter pass to set up a 53-yard scoring run by Smith as Seattle rang up two touchdowns within 38 seconds.

Atlanta scored on field goals of 18 and 21 yards by Nick Mike-Mayer and on a 15-yard pass to wide receiver Alfred Jenkins from quarterback Kim McQuilkin, who took over after Hunter was forced from the game when he took a hard block on Matthews' interception.
